Hello, I am getting in on this thread rather late, as I have been out of town.
Perhaps there is more than one model of Real Tech card. At any rate, I have the Real Tech AC97 and just love it. I have it on a three and a half year old Medion desktop Computer and also on an Acer desktop which I just purchased. It works very well on each machine, and I have noted no accessibility problems. One machine runs XP home, and the other has XP media center. Don Roberts ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Phillips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

It is an onboard chip in many of the new boards and is quite popular now. The only problem with it is that it is not very accessible when it comes to working with recording with different kinds of devices. I have the same chip on my board. I elected to go with a turtle beach riviera sound card, and then finally to a sound blaster live 24 bit card. I am by far happiest with the soundblaster. I would recommend that you consider doing the same when you can and if you wish. Otherwise, I will try to help you figure out your sound as best I can. If you wish, send your contact info to me off list and I will try to help you troubleshoot.
